Allow Android External Camera for Video Call Input

Open reidellawfirm opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use my Android phone (Samsung Fold 5) as my primary computing platform, generally through Samsung Dex with an external monitor and camera plugged in. Android allows for applications to pull video from external cams and I would like the option to use my external Webcam as the video input for my Nextcloud Talk video calls.

Describe the solution you'd like If external camera is plugged in, permit an option to switch to external camera for video input during video calls.

Additional context See details on Android external camera API here: https://source.android.com/docs/core/camera/external-usb-cameras

Thanks @reidellawfirm This is not a high priority at the moment so it might take a while until this gets picked up..

@mahibi thank you for the heads up. If this needs a sponsor to push up, I'm happy to contribute $600 for development. Just tell me where and when to pay.
